Quadratus Lumborum Block for Congenital Hip Dislocation Surgery

Ataturk University40 enrolled

Overview

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the major disorder of the pediatric population with an incidence of 3 to 5 per 1000 children. Open surgical reduction of congenital hip dislocation (CHD) is typically performed after an ineffective closed reduction or older than 18 months. Multiple femoral or pelvic osteotomies and tenotomies are performed during this surgical treatment and cause severe postoperative pain.Since initial description for abdominal surgery, the quadratus lumborum block has experienced several surgeries for postoperative pain management in adults and pediatrics. One of these indication is the hip surgery and described for adult hip arthroplasty. In addition we reported two pediatric cases that single dose transmuscular quadratus lumborum block is an affective analgesia for CHD surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum block in pediatric patients undergoing CHD surgery.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability Score (FLACC)

FLACC scale will be used. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale or FLACC scale is a measurement used to assess pain for children between the ages of 2 months and 7 years or individuals that are unable to communicate their pain. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain. The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a score of 0, 1 or 2.

Time frame: Postoperative first 24hour

Secondary Outcomes

Need for rescue analgesic

Number of patients who required rescue analgesia in postoperative care unit in the first 2 hour

Time frame: 2 hour

Need for analgesic

Number of patients who required analgesic in the first 24 hour

Time frame: 24 hour
